Private Tour: Original Sound of Music Half-Day Tour
This experience combines the highlights of Salzburg with the landscapes featured in the opening scenes of The Sound of Music. Travelers begin with an overview of the city’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its baroque architecture, grand squares, and mountain backdrop. Along the way, the tour introduces the story behind the 1965 film adaptation and its connection to the real Trapp family, whose memoir inspired both the Broadway musical and the movie.
Participants continue through the surrounding countryside to discover several original filming locations. Key stops may include the lakeside setting of Schloss Leopoldskron, the gardens of Hellbrunn with the iconic gazebo from “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” and the Mirabell Gardens, where the “Do-Re-Mi” sequence was staged. These visits offer context to both the production process and the region’s cultural history.
